Our commitment to the Armed Forces Covenant
Cheshire & Wirral Partnership NHS Foundation Trust (CWP) signed the Armed Forces Covenant in 2017 but has recently re-signed the covenant to reaffirm its pledge to our armed forces community. Integral to this commitment will be embedding this pledge across all services to ensure that military personnel who currently work, or who have worked in the military as well as service families are not disadvantaged in the care they receive.
As part of our commitment, CWP was re-accredited as a veteran aware organisation in September 2021.
CWP will encourage all patients to let us know if they have ever served in the UK Armed Forces so that we can best support their care needs: we will continually strive to be an exemplar of the best care for veterans and their families.
Currently, CWP has achieved the Silver status award with the Defence Employer Recognition Scheme and will continue to work towards a Gold standard accreditation, providing our veterans and our Armed Forces community with the support to enable them to work for CWP and become a forces friendly employer.
CWP will develop and work in partnership with our NHS colleagues, 3rd sector and voluntary and independent organisations to ensure a coordinated approach to achieving these ambitions.
About us
